This blog helps you keep up with our progress as a non-profit startup. If you support overcome.tv through a recurring monthly donation, we'll send you a monthly update linking to the posts for that month so you can see the role that your support plays.

The best way of helping us is by making a small monthly donation. This will give you a share in the ever-increasing reward of helping people embrace Islam and it will save us from being distracted by fundraising. Though, if you can't donate, you can always volunteer as well.

We're Registered In The UK

A few days ago, we discovered that Patreon adds VAT to European patrons. Considering that some European countries go up to 27%, we need to move away from Patreon.

Sadly, Patreon doesn't have any competitors that match our needs. So we've got no choice but to develop our own patronage system using Stripe.

For that to happen, we need to have a business bank account. And, for that to happen, we need overcome.tv to be a legally recognised entity. And, as of yesterday, overcome.tv now exists as a private limited company in the UK.

This is now the first step to overcome.tv becoming a registered charity. And, when that happens, insha-Allah, we'll get tax benefits and can enjoy Gift Aid. But the process is lengthy and will take some time.

Setting up a business bank account will be easier said than done as we don't have a physical presence in the UK. So it may take a bit of time. But this is, insha-Allah, the route we're taking.
